Beat the Eientei trio, after spending most of the afternoon struggling through the bullshit multi-floor spanning puzzle that leads up to them. Paralysis is really really good in this game, so at first I kept trying to make that stick to them so I could ignore their gimmicks[Debuffing anyone with Kaguya around is bad and killing any of the three makes another one use a party-wiping attack]. But even Suwako's paralysis wasn't enough to keep them down consistently. After some getting mad at the computer, I decided to go more defensively. I went with Iku, Reimu, Ran/Sanae and Patchouli as my team, in that order. All of them[Besides Sanae, who I'd swap out for Ran whenever she got too beleaguered] have excellent Mind, which means that most of their attacks just sort of do no damage to them, at least after Reimu's defensive buff. While Reimu concentrates on healing and occasionally paralysis, I have Iku and Sanae and Ran supercharge Patchouli until she's A) Invulnerable to magic assault and B) Hitting for 30k with a Royal Flare each turn. I keep doing that, supplemented by occasional AOE attacks from Iku-buffed Youmu, and then enter the desperation stage. Eirin focuses, which is a prelude to her game over attack. I immediately start piling on paralysis and luck out: Reimu nabs all three of them with an Evil-Sealing Circle[Apparently it also seals misguided people too]. Eirin goes down to a Master Spark & Royal Flare combo, but Kaguya is still there and the paralysis has worn off, leaving her free to wipe the party with Hourai Barrage. I pull out Suwako and get a lucky paralyze on her. Yuugi KOs Kaguya, leaving only Reisen. She has a desperation attack too, but its much much milder then Astronomical Entombing or Hourai Barrage. Still, it kills Yuugi and Suwako and Patchouli runs out of SP. I send out Komachi and Youmu, the former to shred her defenses and paralyze her and the latter to deal the final blow. Narrow Confines of Aviici works perfectly and Youmu[Aided by Iku and Patchouli's switching] drops two Slashes of Eternity and ironically dunks the poor rabbit.
Hell yeah.
Labyrinth of Touhou
Sometimes this game is dumb and tedious, I'm not gonna lie. But this was a fun enough boss fight to be worth the drag of the puzzle preceding it.
